I've been playing a while with the module. I like everything that it offers like drag-and-drop user interfaces, email submissions, etc..
Now what I want to extend the functionality behind this so that I can have every new editableformfields' values to be saved into DataObject.
For eg, I have this code here
function doSubmitRegistration($data, $form){
$volunteer = new Volunteer();
$volunteer->Title=$form->dataFieldByName('Title')->dataValue();
$volunteer->Gender=$form->dataFieldByName('Gender')->dataValue();
$volunteer->FirstName=$form->dataFieldByName('FirstName')->dataValue();
$volunteer->Surname=$form->dataFieldByName('Surname')->dataValue();
$volunteer->DateOfBirth=$form->dataFieldByName('DateOfBirth')->dataValue();
$volunteer->Occupation=$form->dataFieldByName('Occupation')->dataValue();
$volunteer->ContactType=$form->dataFieldByName('ContactType')->dataValue();
$volunteer->ContactNo=$form->dataFieldByName('ContactNo')->dataValue();
$volunteer->Email=$form->dataFieldByName('Email')->dataValue();
$volunteer->Address=$form->dataFieldByName('Address')->dataValue();
$volunteer->State=$form->dataFieldByName('State')->dataValue();
$volunteer->Postcode=$form->dataFieldByName('Postcode')->dataValue();
$volunteer->MarketingSource=$form->dataFieldByName('MarketingSource')->dataValue();
$volunteer->MembershipType=$form->dataFieldByName('MembershipType')->dataValue();
$volunteer->write();
$form->sessionMessage(
'IVP Volunteer Registraton Form successfully submitted',
'good'
);
Director::redirectBack();
return;
}
This code is uses the FormField - not the formfield from UDF's module. I have a volunteer table, or dataObject in this case.
I explicitly save all the form's input fields by referencing its dataFieldByName property (and obtaining its data value) and then saved them into my volunteer Dataobject.
So how do I to accomplish something similar under the UDF's framework? What are accessor methods or classes in the getFieldConfiguration method can I hope to accomplish like this?
